OTTAWA COUNTY, Ohio (WUPW) - American Idol Season 9 Top 3 finalist, Crystal Bowersox, visits the Ottawa County Fairgrounds for "Bowerstock" as part of her hometown visit.

She, along with Lee DeWyze and Casey James, are the top three finalists to become the next American Idol. By making the top three they earned a well-deserved hometown visit, which took place Thursday and Friday, May 13-14.

The Eilliston native arrived in Toledo Thursday evening and spent a few hours at FOX Toledo studios where she talked about her Idol journey and performed an intimate set.

All day Friday, her hometown tour took her to area radio stations, a downtown parade and mini concert, a visit to Papa's Tavern, and some quality time with her family in Eilliston.

Bowersox concluded her hometown visit by singing the National Anthem at the Mud Hens game at Fifth-Third Field.
